The Time Between Us | 
pickThis was a good debut spanning decades (1937-2009) and locales (Normandy, Mass., RI, FL) centering around how the events of D-Day impacted and shaped a family‘s generations. While the story is fictitious, I enjoyed the in-depth historical details. Told in three voices, Elise, a troubled Frenchwoman destined to live in the past, Hank, a WW2 soldier whose life is shaped by a promise and Lucy, their granddaughter who while searching out her 🔻
robinb grandparents‘ history, finds her own way forward. While I do think it could have been a bit shorter and the writing could be a little simplistic at times, I did enjoy the character development (especially Elise‘s and Hank‘s), and watching the progression of the choices they made at a young age. It speaks to how life and its events seems at times to be so arbitrarily put into motion. Solid read. 4/5⭐️ 2y
